Are you guys playing without a shortstop position? I see you have Garciappara, who could become very hot this year. Alou......eh....I know what the experts say, but I'm a Cubs fan and he dissapointed me over the years (especially when he blamed Steve Bartman for not catching that ball).

Dave Roberts is also at a fork. He's getting up in years, and who knows if he'll get the 40 steals he got at Boston, probably not. His avg is under 260, which is a little lower than you want for a leadoff hitter, but his speed will help that hopefully.

Your pitching is good as well. I hope that's Jared Wright and not Jamey Wright. I've heard news that Wright will miss his first rotation start, but hes restricted only until April 15th, so no worries. You and I are on the same boat with Leiter. Lets hope good ol' Al has a good season.

I'm not a big Furcal fan, but he should put up numbers similar to 2004. You probably could have done a little better in the catcher department. Hernandez is very promising, but look out for sophomore slump. Barrett was sort of flukish last year.

Pitching staff looks solid, except for Milton. I truly believe he will be awful this year. Leiter is still pitching?? Egads!

Good luck...head to head is a real B.

If there is, in fact, a Heaven and a Hell, all we know for sure is that Hell will be a viciously overcrowded version of Phoenix...

Pretty good team. Good offense, good bullpen. I don't really like alou, especially now that Bonds is injured. Ramon Hernandez, well, he's ok but I would see about upgrading him, especially with that pitchers park he plays in.

Thats the good... Now for the bad. You have Santana, and he's a stud. After him its pretty barren as far as SP go, you should look to trade one of your SS for a low first high second tier pitcher. Hudson is my favorite, also take a loo at Halladay, Mulder, those kinds of pitchers.
